Kim Churchill comes from the coastal town of Merimbula, recognized early by his country as a major talent. He was awarded Australia’s National Youth Folk Artist of the Year and nominated for the National Live Music Awards Roots Act of the Year. Born in 1990, he began playing guitar at the early age of four and went on to train in classical guitar for ten years. He started singing and playing in front of crowds very early, writing songs while experimenting various tunes or while busking in various venues. As an original singer songwriter who is inspired by many genres, he now accompanies his guitar with blues harp (harmonica), stomp box, drums, and percussion instruments. He also plays lapsteel and tambourine.
An avid fan of surfing, he incorporated the sport in many of his songs and music videos. Churchill tours extensively around the world and has become a favourite during music festivals and has particular following in Canada where he has played most of our major festivals.
Kim’s laidback folk style continues to strike a chord across the globe, both in concert tours and in demand at major festivals in many countries. His website is minimalist when it comes to describing his talent, best to just achieve maximum value by listening and watching for yourself …. Check it out here!

He has released seven albums and is signed to Montreal-based Canadian label Indica Records. A true troubadour, Kim is ready for a wave of adventures in 2024 with more music and shows on the horizon.
SPECIAL GUEST - MIA KELLY
Mia Kelly is an award-winning singer-songwriter from Gatineau, Quebec, making her mark on the Canadian folk music scene with a distinctive blend of folk, rock, and blues. Since releasing her debut album Garden Through The War (2022), she has been recognized as a poetic lyricist with a powerful and versatile voice.
Her sophomore album, To Be Clear (2024), co-produced with fellow songwriter Jim Bryson (The Tragically Hip, Kathleen Edwards), received critical acclaim worldwide. The record featured “Meaning Well,” nominated for Single of the Year at the Canadian Folk Music Awards, and went on to earn four 2025 Capital Music Awards nominations. Mia took home Single of the Year for “Bonefish Boys” and Video of the Year for “Si j’étais franche.”
Mia was named Emerging Artist of the Year by Culture Outaouais, represented Canada as a finalist at the 2023 Jeux de la Francophonie in the Democratic Republic of Congo, and was awarded both Young Performer of the Year and Emerging Artist of the Year at the 2024 Canadian Folk Music Awards.
Her music has been featured by The AU Review, La Presse, Americana UK, Ottawa Citizen, Radio-Canada, Roots Music Canada, Le Droit, Châtelaine, CKUA, SiriusXM North Americana, The Scene Calgary, CBC, and more. She has shared the stage with Basia Bulat, Kim Churchill, John Smith, Bobby Bazini, Aysanabee, The Franklin Electric, Daniel Champagne, Jeremie Albino, Julian Taylor, and Lloyd Spiegel, and has performed at major events/festivals including Tallinn Music Week (Estonia), Lunenburg Folk Harbour Festival, Folk Alliance International, Ottawa Bluesfest, Summerfolk, Ontario Festival of Small Halls, Festival des Montgolfières, Mariposa Folk Festival, Live from the Rock, and the Winnipeg Folk Festival.
